A sample of copper has a mass of 10.68 g when measured in air. It has a mass of 9.47 g when measured in water. Answer these three questions: How many atoms are in the sample? What is the simple volume of the space including and surrounding each atom? Assume the atoms are evenly distributed throughout the sample. That is no FCC, BCC, or HCP crystal structure. What is the diameter of each atom?

The ionic crystal of NaCl has an fcc structure as shown below with the position of the Cl atom located at : (0 0 0); (½ ½ 0); ( ½ 0 %) and (0 ½) and Na atom is located at : (½ ½½) + fcc translation. The following are the physical data of NaCl: - Ionic radius Na = 0.98 A, Cl ion radius 1.81 A Atomic mass of Na = 22.99 amu, Atomic mass of Cl = 35.45 amu NaCl bulk modulus = 2.40 x 1010 N/m - Madelung's constant = 1.75 Young's modulus in the direction [100] = 5 x 1010 Nm-2 Debye temperature = 281 K - State the structural factors of NaCl, F in fNa and fCl (f = atomic scattering factor). Also determine the condition (h k 1) so that the value of F = 0.
